Abroad: Stories from the COVID-19 Pandemic

by Kate Morton

The pandemic was shocking enough for those of us quarantining in our own homes, but what if you were thousands of miles away when the pandemic struck? Abroad is a three-part podcast that gives an inside look into the lives of Americans living outside of the United States during the coronavirus pandemic. Adina, Laura and Sydney share their experiences in the countries they call home: Germany, Japan and Sweden.
